Matthew Parkinson Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 This one was the last one I made for bladeshow, based on on original in a friends collection, these little daggers were carried by women as protections, the guard shape and silver sheaths seem to be a standard of the style. The blade on this one is made from CT river blacksand, it was a direct reduction in a crucible with equal weight of charcoal fines and a small piece of cast iron form a previous smelt to help consolidate .. very inefficient method do not think I will be repeating it. The guard is cast sterling silver, as is the sheath, the sheath is tipped with a ruby. The handle is carved from stabilized dyed birch . 8 Web site http://www.dragonsbreathforge.com Insagram account http://instagram.com/swordmatt# Blog http://mpmetal.tumblr.com/ Facebook https://www.facebook/dragonsbreathforge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charles dP Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Definitely. I didn’t realise how small it was until the last 2 photos. Fine work. 1 "The way we win matters" (Ender Wiggins) Orson Scott Card Nos qui libertate donati nescimus quid constat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eric Estlund Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 The deep hollow looks fun. Flat back/ triangular? Do you have a shot from but pommel end? Looks like a fun project. Did you cast the body of the sheath? Eric Estlund WinterCutlery.com IG @wintercutlery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dick Sexstone Posted June 11 Share Posted June 11 Nice Matt……What Charles said……in your hand is a perfect reference …. I like the ruby touch…..too bad Jack the Ripper was not introduced to one back then…. Maybe he was the inspiration ? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kevin Colwell Posted June 18 Share Posted June 18 that is cute. Seriously, though, nice work. The silver work is impressive, too. Creative. I like it. please visit my website http://www.professorsforge.com/ “Years ago I recognized my kinship with all living things, and I made up my mind that I was not one bit better than the meanest on the earth.
